guys you don't see it philosophy is meaningless come on just stop thinking and work all the time

doesnt matter what hit a rock over and over if you have to it will probably do more than philosophy am i rite

Edit: Seriously, though. Philosophy exercises thought, and the thought it usually produces helps direct the work a society can do on a daily basis. If we just worked without having any analysis or direction we would most assuredly go nowhere.

To get my point, you guys should see this video. Here is a man who is slowly losing(and then regaining, near the end) his ablity to think clearly and is trying to make a peanut butter sandwich, thanks to him taking a 20x hit of a drug called "salvia": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl08Tnun82k

DOUBLE BONUS EDITRAVAGANZA: The drug is legal in most states too. Order some and try it if you must see the true horror of losing your ego and ability to think for yourself. A warning though- the effect differs from mind to mind- for some people it has no effect at all and to others(like me), it is utterly, mindfuckingly horrifying. My trips on the drug were along the same lines as that scene in the matrix where neo has the liquid metal or whatever going down his throat, only afterwards I'd wake up god knows where and have no idea who I am. My point? You can go to thoughtless, "nophilosophy-land" if you wish- all you need is a drug, and let me tell you, it isn't always pleasant.
